Relais Corte Paradiso

We (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12) stayed for two nights whilst interailing to Istanbul. The goal was a base for dipping into the local water / theme parks as a treat for the children! Corte Paradiso was much more than a base - it was a reminder of holidays as a child where there wasn’t too much going on but more than enough of what you really want and need! The main building and apartment are lovely - stately old, cool inside, well-looked after, appropriately designed / decorated and HUGE! The views over the grounds are nice and blackout shutters a godsend for our sleepless boys. Not a place for those who want a TV with 1000 channels though - if that’s you’re thing, look elsewhere - it’s a place to relax in simplicity. We loved playing table tennis and football on the mini pitch and the pool was delightful!! Finally, a special mention to Barbara who helped out with so many things with professionalism, friendliness and a touch of class :) In terms of water / theme park, we strongly recommend the Movieland and Caneva two in one day ticket. And as a tip - if the queue to Caneva is too long, go to Movieland (no queue), then either do the rides there first (no queue) or use the secret Movieland / Caneva gate - it’s up near Diabolik. You can beat the Caneva queue and save yourselves three hours of queuing!
